Let's talk about Surratt!

jominguez — Sun, 24 Apr 2016 23:19:17 GMT

I was looking for a general brand thread but it seems we don't have one. I blindly ordered the blush in Grisaille (to qualify for a promo), with such low expectations that I actually screamed "Oh. My. God!!!" as I was putting it on this morning. The texture of that blush is almost like a cream-to-powder, and super soft, like an angel's behind. The price is a little hard to swallow for something so little, and I wish the pan was magnetic instead of stick-on, but I still think I'll be picking up a few more colors because the formula is divine.

What about you—what are your favorite Surratt items?

The Surratt brushes that my BF got me for X-mas are amazing... SUPER soft... I never knew a brush could feel so soft! I also LOVE the blushes... I have Ponceau, Se Pomponner, and Grisaille and you're right they are excellent!! I also built a 4-quad eyeshadow palette but they are very sheer... very pretty but they're nearly invisible on me 😞

The brushes are for sure some of my Surratt favorites because they are super soft.

I have the blush in both parfait and rougeur and they're great. They're not super pigmented, but I feel like that is not a con because they're buildable and is great for those with an otherwise heavy hand 🙂 I want to pick up ponceau but when they were first available on sephora, that one was always out of stock.

I've also tried the concealer, but I don't feel like it was anything extraordinary.

I want to pick up some of the shadows eventually and the new foundation is on my list! It reminds me of a ByTerry foundation that I picked up a while back, but this one from Surratt comes in a wider range of shades! http://www.sephora.com/surreal-real-skin-foundation-wand-P407377?skuId=1686781&icid2=brand%20content_brand:surratt%20beauty_p407377_image

Grisaille is one of my favorite 'nude' blush colors for when I just want a tiny hint of color on my face.

From his blush line I also really like Aureole for highlighting - it's just such gorgeous and refined shimmer. I own most of the original shades, and can't really complain about any of them.

I'm really looking forward to the 6 new blushes making their way to Sephora. I asked them on IG when, but they weren't sharing 😉 At the moment they're only available at Barneys.

Re: the pans, they sell empty compacts that slot 2-3 blushes into, but they're expensive.

Eta: I posted this on IG and it occurred to me it might be useful here

Aureole, Grisaille, Cantaloup, Parfait, Ponceau, Guimauve, La Vie En Rose, Rougeur, Se Pomponneur

I love his eyelash curler. I was waiting a long time for it come back in stock online but the wait was worth it. It is one of the best curlers I have ever used. I only use the Surratt or Kevyn Aucoin eye lash curler now.

I also own Parfait blush and it is a beautiful color.

I love the curler and totally spaced on mentioning it. I bought it on a whim last year and I still can't believe how perfect it is for my eye shape.

i'm also really intrigued by the new foundation with integrated brush, but for $90 at a 1/2 oz, I am waiting until my Sephora has them on display.

I ordered two of the new shades from barneys a couple weeks ago after seeing swatches on temptalia, and they are so pretty!

Re: Let's talk about Surratt!

Mochapj — Mon, 25 Apr 2016 15:59:52 GMT

@moxiepancakes which ones did you get? I was almost going to order from Barneys yesterday, but one of the ones I wanted was OOS.

Re: Let's talk about Surratt!

moxiepancakes — Mon, 25 Apr 2016 16:08:13 GMT

De Cherubique and Barbe a Papa

Re: Let's talk about Surratt!

Mochapj — Mon, 25 Apr 2016 16:16:09 GMT

@moxiepancakes do you love them both?

Re: Let's talk about Surratt!

moxiepancakes — Mon, 25 Apr 2016 16:29:51 GMT

I love De Cherubique as a blush Barbe a Papa is more of a highlight color on me and I don't like it as well as De Cherubique.

Swatches: top De Cherubique bottom Barbe a Papa

I've been wearing them in some of my what are you wearing today and color challenge photos.

Re: Let's talk about Surratt!

Mochapj — Mon, 25 Apr 2016 17:58:42 GMT

Thank you for the swatches @moxiepancakes!

These are both ones I was considering but if Barbe a Papa barely shows up on you, there's no chance in h#ll it's going to show up on me 😞

Re: Let's talk about Surratt!

moxiepancakes — Mon, 25 Apr 2016 18:07:46 GMT

What about Flamme? That looks like it would be super flattering @Mochapj.

I wonder if surratt will ever make a red shade with a similar shimmer? like Exhibit A + sheen

Re: Let's talk about Surratt!

Mochapj — Mon, 25 Apr 2016 19:11:34 GMT

@moxiepancakes LOL, Flamme is one of the others I was considering, actually 😉 I was pretty much debating all of them except the 2 'highlighting' ones (Coup Genie and Halo).

I'm hoping they show up in Sephora sooner rather than later so I can swatch them, because ordering from Barneys to Canada is cray-zay expensive :S

I would love it if they made that kind of red. I have something sort of similar to Exhibit A with sheen from a Japanese brand, but it doesn't have quite as much sheen as I'd like, either.

Yuumei — Mon, 25 Apr 2016 22:23:15 GMT

Oh my gosh... now I want Rougeur REALLY bad... that is exactly the shade I have been looking for.. I wish I had seen your awesome swatches before I bought Ponceau, I would have been even happier lol 😄 ... hmmmm... I might just have to switch it out of my compact (only room for three) 😉

Re: Let's talk about Surratt!

moxiepancakes — Mon, 25 Apr 2016 22:27:58 GMT

Anyone use the lipsliques? I'd love to see some of the colors on lips. Do any of them pull into the lip lines of feather?

Re: Let's talk about Surratt!

Mochapj — Mon, 25 Apr 2016 22:37:31 GMT

I tried a couple of the new ones that came out last fall (not sure if that's lipslique or prismatique) and I returned them straight away.

They were so sheer but also sparkly that they did not work for my big fat lips 😄

ETA: went back to confirm, I tried the Prismatique.

I read somewhere that Chikuhodo makes their brushes but that Troy himself had a hand in designing them. No wonder they're so good!

I'm super interested in his foundation too, ever since Lisa Eldridge used it in a recent video. I don't know how I feel about the brush though--I feel like it might be hard to clean.
